Ya know Tony, I am not exactly sure as to how to take your comment regarding the 30th IL sitting it out at the battle of Raymond. Wheter the saw action or not is irrelevant don't you think. The 30th was there and the opened a can of woop- ars plenty of times before and after this engangement at Raymond. The 30th IL was there; in action or support. Were you trying to belittle the 30th IL because the were not in the thick of things at Raymond? Either way, you've no right to assume either. Respect the men.
